The entertainment given last night at the City Opera house by the Mohr-McMillan company was one of the very best of its kind that ever appeared in this city. Every member of the company was an artist in his or her line. Unfortunately there was not a large attendance, although the quality of the program was deserving of much better patronage. The ladies of the city who got the company are deserv- of thanks for the exceptionally high standard of the entertainment. Rev. C. K. Copper, presiding elder of the Brainerd distrcit of the M. E. church, spent last night in the city. While' he was here he appointed Rev. Deniston, pastor of the local M. E. church, as presiding elder for the coming week.

He has been ill only a few days. O. Gravelle and wife returned yes- terday to their home at Red Lake Indian Agency; and thereby hangs an interesting tale. Only a few of the intimate friends of Mr. Gravelle were aware of the fact that he had but recently been married, and the son-of-a-gun took advantage of the childlike simplicity of the editor hereof by attributing the retiring disposition of his better half to the fact that she has been very ill, when as a matter of fact Gravelle was langhing up his sleeve at the fact that he had recently been married and was fooling the entire bunch who live in town here. However, Gravelle will be called on the carpet at the next meeting of the Elks lodge, when he will have to explain a few things. SMART CLOTHING We are now showing Stein- Block Suits for 1908.

Morrison, Jr., who has been one of the principal residents at the Red Lake Indian Agency dur- ing the past fifteen years, left for his home this afternoon, after having spent two days in the city on a busi- ness trip. Mr. Morrison is much interested in the proposition of allow- ing the applications for allotments on the Red Lake reservation, which are being made now by the members of the Red Lake band. Mr. Morri- son insists that the applications can- not be legally denied by the depart- ment officials at Washington, and he is equally certain that if they are rejected and the matter is taken to the U. S. courts the applicants will win out. See the sceges in the frozen north. City Opera House Saturday evening. Given Up o Die B. Spiegle, 1204 N. Virginia St., Evansville, Ind., writes: ¢For over fiye years I was troubled with kidney and bladder affections which caused me much pain. and worry. I lost flesh and was all run down, and a year ago had to abandon work entirely. I had three of the best physicians who did me no good and I was prae- tically given up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure was recommended and the first bottle gave me great relief, and after taking the second bottle I was entirely cured-” why not let it help you. E. A. Barker ‘ANNEXATION OF CONGO. Treaty Submitted to the Belgian Par- liament. Brussels, March (4—The text of the new Congo annexation treaty was sub- mitted to parliament by Premier Schollaert. It confirms the forecast that King Leopold agrees to abandon the crown domain and the crown foundation to Belgium, but it requires that Belgium shall not only assume all the Congo obligations, but under- take also to continue the king’s asufruct in the Congo revenues during his. lifetime. Belgium is specifically required to respect the concessions granted to two American companies in 1906, in which Thomas F. Ryan is in- terested. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY.

Perhaps the most novel use to which brend is put may be seen in one of our great watch factories, where more than’ forty loaves of fresh bread are required each day. An official of the watch fac- tory is quoted as saying “There Is no secret regarding the use of bread n this factory, and I am will- $ng to tell all I can concerningit, From the earliest times in fhe history of watchmaking it has been the custom of watchmakers to reduce fresh bread to the form of dough, This Is done by steaming and kneading. They then use this dough for removing oil and chips that naturally adhere in course of manufacture to pieces as small as a part of a watch. There are. many parts of a watch, by the way, that are po small as to be barely visible to the naked eye. The oll is absorbed by this dough and the chips stick to it, and there is no other known substance ‘which can be used as a wiper without leaving some of its particles attached to the thing wiped. This accounts for the continued use of bread dough in the watchmaking industry.”—American Food Journal. A Quaint Compliment. On Mark Twain’s seventy-second birthday a Hartford clergyman said of him: “No wonder he finds happiness in old age. All the aged would be happy if they were as sympathetic and as kind as he. He is continually going out of his way to please others, and the result is that he is continually pleasing him- self. Listen, for instance, to the quaint compliment he paid me the last time he came to hear me preach. He waited for me at the church door at the serv- ice’s end and, shaking me by the hand, said gravely: ‘I mean no offense, but I feel oblig- ed to tell you that the preaching this morning has been of a kind that I can spare. I go to church, sir, to pursue my own train of thought, but today 1 couldn’t do it. You interfered with me. You forced-me to attend to you and lost me a full half hour. I beg that this may not occur again.’” _Philosophy of Descartes. Tarning the mental vision inward, as Bacon turned it outward, Descartes ‘watched the operations of the soul as an object in a microscope. Resolved to believe nothing but upon evidence 50 convincing that he could not by any effort refuse his ascent, he found as he inspected his beliefs that he could plausibly doubt everything but his own existence. Here at last was the everlasting rock, and this was re- vealed in his own consciousness; hence his famous “Cogito ergo sum"” (I think, therefore 1 am). Consclousness, sald he, is the basis of certitude. Interro- gate it and its clear replies will be science, for all clear ideas are true. Down in the depths of the mind is the idea of the infinite perfection—the mark of the workman impressed upon his work. Therefore God exists.—New York American, Science and Sound Fact. “The workings of the human mind when asleep are full of wonder,” re- marked a scientist who was paying a visit to an acquaintance. “Have you ever started up from a sound dream- less sleep, with every sense on the alert and with your whole being thrill- ed with a vivid yet indefinable feeling that something was wrong and instant action required?” “Often,” replied his hostess, “and in nearly every case I have found that 1 was awakened by the fumbling of my husband’s key at the front door!” Impertinent. Speaking of & man noted for his im- pertinence, an acquaintance said: “Blank’s impudence was second only to that of a waiter I heard about the other day. & “‘Look here, waiter,’ said a guest, ‘this fish is not cooked properly.” “‘1 know it, sir’ said the waiter, ‘but you told me it was for your wife.’ “‘Well, what of that? asked the sur- prised guest. “‘Why,’ said the walter, ‘I knew that if the lady was your wife she couldn’t be very particular.’” Realism In Art. Two artists were boasting how they could paint. “Do you know,” said one, “I painted a sixpence on the ground one day, and a beggar nearly broke his fingers trying to pick it up!” ‘“That's nothing to what I did,” said the other. “I painted a leg of mutton on a stone, and it was so realistic that a dog ate half the stone before he found out his mistake!” . His Narrow Escape. “I tell you, the closing of the Steenth National was a mighty close call for me.” “How was that?” “Why, a friend had advised me to put my money in it and”— “And you took his advice?” “No, but I would if I’d had any mon- Philadelphia Ledger. ey.” Not the Kind He Wanted. “Little Willie ran away to hunt red- #kins.” “Yes?” “But he didn’t find any until his fa- ther had finished with him.”—Harper’s Weekly. Ungallant. + “My face is my fortune, sir,” she said. “Well,” he replied, “poverty is no dis- grace, but it’'s awfully inconvenient at times:"” The Wicked Husband. “Why does a man lie to his wife?” asks a woman writer. Dear me, does he?—Duluth Herald. A moral, sensible, well bred man will not insult me. ‘No other can.—Cowper. No Case on Record.
